    We will see what actually plays out. He is the most vocal and I think that is helping him right now but I agree with the article that he probably will not win the nomination.

    Despite his momentum, most Republicans do not see Trump actually winning the GOP Republican nomination next year — 31% expect Bush to be the nominee, while 22% believe Trump will be. Another 14% predict a Walker nomination

      I'm not that educated on Bush, I think he is the most level-headed of Republicans? If he does get the nomination over Trump then I think it will be a very interesting race.

        Bush will present whatever face is most likely to get him elected. He very much stands in the company of classic neo-conservative associates, advisers, campaign managers and potential cabinet members.

          He is very much the classic Republican plus comes from a name known for their politics. I think he would have the best shot of winning in a general election which is who they will give the nomination to.

          And his entire foreign policy team is from his brother's administration, with a couple extras from his dad's and Reagan's thrown in. That tells me all I need to know about what kind of mess he will make if he wins the white house.

        Considering the nature of the Republican field, level-headed is a fairly relative term. Bush still wants to get rid of Medicare, supports increasing the retirement age, doesn't believe scientists when it comes to climate change, etc. One thing he really has going for him, though, is his $100 million Super PAC. It'll be really interesting to see all the Republican PACs battle it out in the coming months.
